For archery or rifle? With or without ballistics?

My Sig BDX Kilo1600 has been great as my primary ballistics solver. That's an old model now, but I'd buy any of their current BDX models if I needed a new one. I believe some of them have archery mode now as well.

I have the same one. It works excellent. Except in fog. I have yet to see one that does work in fog though

If you can afford to get a good rangefinding binocular you may never use an ordinary rangefinder again. A few years ago I bit the bullet and bought the Leica 10x42 Geovid 3000, its clearer than my swarovskis and I have not used my rangefinder since getting the Leica's. I love them!

I'm planning on going to the Revic's next year. I've heard, "regular binoculars are for looking at animals, rangefinding binoculars are for killing animals"

What are people doing when the electronics go bad inside their binoculars.  Most rangefinders last 5-7 years, in my experience.  So when the rangefinder goes bad inside the 3K dollar binoculars, are you just SOL??  I have a set of Swaro's that are over 20 years old and still have amazing glass.

I haven't heard of any going bad? I don't know how Leica's warranty is, never had any Leica go bad?
